Hi everyone. A little bit about me:
I had just joined CFUK, made a few posts and then saw the information about the sale to VerticalScope. I’ve been involved in forums (and running various of my own throughout the years) for around 15 years now, so have come across the name and the impact that VS tend to have on forums after buying them. Stumbled across the link here on a discussion on the site and decided to join up. I’ve followed the development of Flarum for quite some time as a “modern” forum software and quite like it, and the guys at FreeFlarum are really helping to make it accessible to as many users as possible. So joining here seemed like quite a good fit alongside the range of other users which seem to be joining up.
About me more personally - I love coffee, have for quite some time but only got serious within the past year (coinciding with me getting a job as an accountant - bean counter, pun intended - but also quickly learning that I needed a better source of caffeine to survive! Previously I was mainly using the preground supermarket stuff in either a french press or a really cheap filter machine. With the role change and increased income the first thing I did after my first paycheck was purchase the Sage Precision Thermal and the Wilfa Svart grinder. I use these frequently now alongside my Hario V60 for one cup brewing. I’ve been trying a range of independent and small scale coffee roasters and mainly wanted to join a forum like this to find possible new options and discuss equipment.
Look forward to seeing how this new community develops and talking coffee!
